[opensuse] Problem with Package Management /Zypper and repo metadata
by Matthias Titeux 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Hi, Last saturday I installed Opensuse 11.2 x86_64 on a computer running 10.3 for too long a time ;-) I formated / ext4 and mounted the existing /home ext3. Everything was smooth. No hassle except when I wanted to add the packman repo. Yast show errors while parsing the metadata (stuck trying to download the Primary.xml.gz file). I thought it may be a connection problem, or a sync of the mirror, but - Sunday and today the problem remains - Every other mirrors I have tried gave the same error - I had the same error on the opensuse-source repo. I never encountered such error before, not even on the 2 other 11.2 installation I have done (both i586 btw). Here is the output of the zypper refresh command: ararat:/home/matthias # zypper refresh Le dépôt 'NVIDIA Repository' est à jour. Le dépôt 'openSUSE BuildService - KDE:KDE4:Community' est à jour.

[opensuse] DVD as zypper dup source
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

I saw a discussion of this, but missed the answer. If I want to use a local DVD to update from openSUSE 11.1 to 11.2, I can simply add the DVD as the only repo source, right? This will make available the packages in repo-oss and repo-non-oss, but not repo-update, right? I looked for this on http://en.opensuse.org/Upgrade/11.2, but there was no mention of the local DVD source method. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] Crossover 8.0 pro and opensuse 11.2
by Teruel de Campo MD 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

If you try to install crossover 8.0 using $ sh install-crossover-pro-8.0.0.sh It will install OK but when you try to run the Configuration nothing happens. There is something wrong with this script. You have to uninstall just go the ~/cx../bin and run cxuninstall Then install the rpm version. This one works OK. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] O/T (sorry) - formats in a DVD
by John Bennett 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Sorry about being OT, but not sure where else to post this...? Am trying to put together a DVD, with media shot on 2 different cameras - one a 4:3 format, the other a 16:9 format. I usually use DeVeDe to produce my DVDs, and I 'think' I have seen in there that if you have a clip (4:3) you can add padding to the edges to create 16:9, so that both could then be added to the one DVD??... I could just as easily be wrong, of course, but after a recent update, DeVeDe is dead.. :-( john@boss:~> devede DeVeDe 3.15.0 Locale: en_AU.UTF-8 Using package-installed files Failed to load modules DEVEDE_OTHER. Exiting john@boss:~> Apparently, this is a prob with devede and should be fixed down the track... So, I have tried various other apps (mandvd, 2mandvd, DVDStyler etc) and I can't find any fix for the prob... Anybody know of a solution?

[opensuse] problem exporting via nfs filesystem with mountpoints.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have written this entry in /etc/exports: / *(ro,no_root_squash,nohide,no_subtree_check) and a corresponding entry in fstab (same machine): nimrodel.valinor:/ /mnt/nfs nfs ro,noauto 0 0 The nohide option is because I want to export all filesystems mounted on /, according to "man exports".

[opensuse] 11.2 i586, The dreaded dog hung again with CPU at 43% and ate 500M of RAM
by David C. Rankin 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Guys Keep an eye on beagled. Tonight after cron daily, beagled hung with the processor stuck at 43%. I thought it was just indexing, so I let it run. Then 4 hours later it was still stuck at 43% and had consumed a bit over 500M of RAM in the process. I don't know the exact cause or any more of the symptoms. This is the first time I have seen it. Anybody else had to shoot the dog lately? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] TV card must reinstalled after reboot
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Running 11.1 on this machine with a Prolink TV card. Whenever I reboot or return from an init 3 the TV card is not working. I have to delete the card in Yast and reinstall it after which it functions as expected. There is some info about nodga but a start with -nodga does not give me a functioning TV card. I am using xawtv. Assume there must be an easier way or even a method by which I may use the card after rebooting. -- Powered by openSUSE 11.1 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.27.37-0.1-default KDE: 4.3.3 (KDE 4.3.3) "release 182" 10:44pm up 1 day 0:11, 3 users, load average: 1.07, 0.95, 1.62 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Correct permissions (or "what happened to") /var/spool/samba?
by Rodney Baker 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Hi listmates. I recently started having problems printing via my laptop, which prints by default to a printer shared via a samba share on my desktop. For some reason, it was unable to create a print job. I did some digging via the cups web config page and couldn't find any clues, nor could I via the Yast2 Printer Config tool. Then, as a last resort, I checked my samba config. The printer share was configured to point at /var/spool/samba, but when I went to /var/spool there was no /var/spool/samba. Now, something must have changed somewhere between 11.0 and 11.2 because this used to work. Recreating /var/spool/samba corrected the problem and my (Windows XP) laptop now prints happily again. The question is, though (apart from how /var/spool/samba went awol in the first place), what are the correct ownership, group and permissions for /var/spool/samba? Would someone with a similar setup please check (ls -l /var/spool) and let me know? Thanks in adavance, Rodney. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
